Hey guys!

Im curious ;) This has been the longest in 8 mos that it has ever taken me to get over a glutening. I ate something last Saturday and still havent figured out what i did. So it is now day 7 and i dont feel any better.

Do yal have any recommendations as to what you do? I know not to try anything new during this time but should I be eating bland food? B/c everything i eat hurts me.

Thank u for any advice!

I eat buckwheat hot cereal, so much like cream of wheat it is scarey, with cinnamon and a bit of sugar. It is real high in digestable protein for a cereal and quite soothing. Yogurt if you can tolerate it is also good, it helps to get the good bacteria back in balance. I also make real sure I am taking my sublingual B12, drink lots of water and get as much sleep as my body needs, after the gluten speed effect wears off anyway.

I tend to stick to bland foods after a glutening or when unwell but I follow my appetite/cravings within reason. If you're not already, you may want to try eating many little meals throughout the day. I think it is easier for an already stressed digestive tract to avoid eating too much at once. It is also a good way to keep your blood sugar stable throughout the day which is important to feeling well whether or not you're dealing with diabetes or other blood sugar issues. Also Pedialyte is a must for me at the first sign of GI distress. Being dehydrated is a sure way to make you feel even crummier.

Bland foods for me too!!! I also take probiotics when I get CC'd or glutened cuts the recovery time in half!!!

I try to remember to take them everyday but generally end up taking them if I feel yucky!!!

I never had buckwheat cereal...I tried cream of rice and didnt care for it. Where do you usually buy yours at? I might look into this, it seems like a quick and filling breakfast.

The past 4 years I went to dance camps at UF and USF and constantly got glutened, no matter how hard I tried. Fruit always made me feel better. I would usually eat some sort of fruit, drink lots of water, and take a little nap. Most of the time afer that I would have enough energy to finish my day "normally".

I buy the Pocono brand at either my local health food store or at wegmans. It is certified organic and is grown and packaged by a company in Penn Yan NY about 20 miles from where I live. The company that makes it also makes some other great buckwheat products including a kasha that is great as a replacement for bulgar wheat in tabollah (sp). The companies name is Birkett Mills, they have a website but I don't know if I can post it with all the spam we have had lately. You should find it easily in a search or PM me if you need to.

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease.   Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.  Though having the genes for Celiac is not diagnostic in and of itself, taken with the antibody tests, the anemia and your reaction to gluten, it may be a confirmation you have Celiac disease.   Do discuss Gastrointestinal Beriberi with your doctors.  In Celiac disease, Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.  The digestive system can be affected by localized Thiamine deficiency which causes symptoms consistent with yours.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly is beneficial.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, helps improve intestinal health.  All eight B vitamins, including Thiamine (Benfotiamine), should be supplemented because they all work together.   The B vitamins are needed in addition to iron to correct anemia.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?
